Music Therapy

Taken from 'Keys to Extraordinary Longevity' by Dr. J.P. Willem.
'Music itself, which is used as a support for sound stimulation, calms and makes the subject feel secure and relaxed. It can induce hope, joy, nostalgia, affection, strength, a feeling of power, aesthetic appreciation, etc.
At home, each of us can use the immense resources of music, on the basis of some simple principles I summarise below.
- Organic life is based on rhythms, which means that music can calm or stimulate, harmonise or provoke stress.
- Predominantly rhythmic music stimulates the senses and the physiology, the mode of 'doing', making the body more dynamic (dance music:...)
- Predominantly melodic music stimulates the emotional life and the way of 'feeling' (Romantics; Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, etc)
- Predominantly harmonic music stimulates intellectual life and the way of 'thinking' (classical period: Handel, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Haydn).
- Polyphonic music stimulates fraternal and collective sentiments (popular songs, Basque music, Corsican and Verdi choirs) up to very high-flown sentiments of light, love and joy (Monteverdi, Handel, Vivaldi, etc).
Music is used for relaxation: Moonlight Sonata - promote sleep: Reverie by Schumann....'
